ed motive than that of building up his own interests at
the expense of the native--to seek our confidence only to
betray it--with no higher ambition than that of overthrowing
our Government, and introducing anarchy, confusion and
bloodshed--then is he most unwelcome!

The duties we owe to each other are reciprocal. For my part I
shall use my best endeavors, in humble reliance on the Great
Ruler of all, to give you a just, liberal and satisfactory
Government. At the same time I shall expect you in return to
assist me in sustaining the Peace, the Law, the Order and the
Independence of my Kingdom.

The preceding is the address, as it was taken down at the time, by a
practised stenographer.

His Majesty afterwards, from the portico of the church, addressed, in
native, a crowd of several thousand, who had not been able to find room
in the church, and who had congregated in front thereof, outside the
military. The crowd listened in breathless silence, and when the King
concluded, cheered His Majesty most rapturously.

The whole solemn proceedings were conducted with admirable order, and
His Majesty throughout appeared calm, collected and dignified.

know God and serve him, and be instructed in Christianity. I wish you to

way, counsel them, let them not associate with bad companions." But
after her death, the chief who had the immediate charge of the young
Prince's person was Kaikeoewa. When he retired to Lanai, Kaahumanu

education which the infant Prince received, was at K
